Shooting myself is not a method I am necessarily vouching for right now, but it is the one with the best possibility of death.

I was wondering if I try the SN method first and fail for some reason (throwing up probably) and go to the hospital on my own accord, does that mean I can still get a gun? Federal law U.S.C. § 922(g)(4) says that someone who is has been committed to a mental institution by lawful authority can't buy a gun and could face up to ten years in jail for owning one.

Does this mean that in a scenario like the SN one I listed, I will still be able to buy a gun because I committed myself? Or would that be me committing myself to a hospital and not the psych ward because I'd be going in for methylene blue not the 72 hour hold. Should I tell them I also want to go to the psychward to dodge that gun law??

i found this:
Gun rights
You can look at your state to see if voluntary hospitalizations do not allow you to own a gun anymore. It only has some but I think it only shows those with the laws from what I read. Could be wrong though.
